This race was...Thanks for the stitch remedies GP!! This race was the first time I've gotten one (yep, on the right side) and hopefully I won't have to employ said techniques, but we'll see. <BR/><BR/>And as to Ms. Vegtriathlete's comment, stitches are not related to lactic acid, but both are somewhat mysterious to the medical world. Stitches may be a result of oxygen deprivation and the liver, I believe. I also believe that lactic acid may cause the burn you feel whilst pushing your granny gear up a 15% grade. It actually helps you to keep going....not the pain, unless you are insane (like most cyclists are), but the lactic acid itself is used for fuel. <BR/><BR/>As far as the title of my blog goes, it is a combination of my enjoyment of putting myself through pain climbing through the Cuyahoga Valley on my bike (lactic acid) and my political ideals (um, that's the left part). You could probably say our current administration puts me through political pain. Bicycles and politics....2 of my favorite ways to spend my time.B Bophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03845924785378770866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36874826.post-21477693390887057322007-06-28T00:40:00.000-04:002007-06-28T00:40:00.000-04:00Congrats on your first tri!

If so, that would be kind of ironic, given the name of your blog...Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02152164610783590294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36874826.post-4271034001153129212007-06-28T00:10:00.000-04:002007-06-28T00:10:00.000-04:00I will bring the aero bars to roccos today.

Many congrats and high fives all around!<BR/><BR/>I'm the queen of stitches (not exactly a royal title at all) and would pay the Nobel prize money for the cure. <BR/><BR/>In my running, however, I have found that if I take a quick pitstop (I know that's the LAST thing anyone wants to do when racing), raise my hands above my head and take 4-5 yoga-deep breaths, the stitch starts loosening up. <BR/><BR/>But if you can feel the stitch coming on (and I mean as soon as you feel it coming on), start deepening your breathing. Don't stop running or change pace. Take deep inhalations and then exhale long and strong on the foot opposite the stitch. My guess is that the stitch was on your right side? So, take deep breaths and then exhale long and slow as you extend your left foot. It might sound foolish, but it has worked really well for me. But you have to catch it early!<BR/><BR/>And one more thing: EAT SOMETHING! Keep some Cliff bars or <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Greens-Plus-Energy-Bar-bars/dp/B0001ZZ6PI" REL="nofollow">Greens Plus bars</A> around for quick nutrition.<BR/><BR/>Congrats again. You should be very proud of yourself for kicking butt.GPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847101316636431975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36874826.post-41274081504508909212007-06-26T15:03:00.000-04:002007-06-26T15:03:00.000-04:00Well way to get in your first tri and I love that ...Well way to get in your first tri and I love that you had to register for another one right away!!!<BR/><BR/>Fortunately I have never had any terrible side stitches but I have heard they can be quite painful to deal with.
